iPad? Check. MacBook? Check. Kodak Playsport? Check. Livescribe pen? Check. Alright, I am all packed and ready for the 2012 North American Jewish Day School Conference in Atlanta tomorrow. I just reviewed the many session choices and thought I would highlight the sessions focused on Online Learning. There are many focused on 21st century learning and educational technology as well, but below are the sessions focused solely on online and blended learning:
SUNDAY at 5:00pm in Georgia 13:
Disruptive Innovations in Instructional Technology: Things to Consider in a Blended Program
Russ Ballati and Rebecca Tamasini, Co-Founders, Alvo Institute
Blended learning has the potential to become the single greatest instructional innovation education has seen in hundreds of years. How will this instructional method disrupt, and forever change, how we think about instruction, staffing, grade levels, and school design? Participants learn to use the Alvo Institute’s research- based proprietary tools to assess pre-design readiness. Discover the critical design and implementation steps and practices, often overlooked, to think about in order to launch a great blended program.
MONDAY at 4:45pm in the Capital Ballroom (Afternoon Keynote):
Teaching in the Education Frontier: Exploring the Impact of Online Teaching and Learning
Kristin Kipp, Teacher, Jeffco’s 21st Century Virtual Academy
iNACOL Online Teacher of the Year Kristin Kipp considers how teaching in cyberspace could impact the ability of a teacher to work closely with individual students, help build a closer learning community, deepen student’s connections with content, prepare students for a 21st century world, impact our shared vision for day school excellence and expand horizons for reimagining schools.
7:30pm in Georgia 7 (Evening Events)
Jewish Education Project Reception
Learn about the JEP’s two new initiatives: DigitalJLearning Network, a partnership with The AVI CHAI Foundation and JESNA, offering funding to day schools in their work to create innovative, online education; Chiddush: A Coalition of Innovative Jewish Day Schools, a project to inspire and support collaborative innovation. Stop by our reception to learn more—and to register for a drawing to win a new iPad2 (drawing at 8:00 PM; winner must be present to win).
Tuesday at 9:00am in Savannah
21st Century Learning Environments
Michael Mino, Innovator-in-Residence
21st century Jewish education requires both physical and virtual spaces that are flexible, innovative environments capable of developing and supporting creativity and 21st century skills development in school and online. Learn how schools from K through 12 can leverage technology to create and build new learning environments that will support 21st century skills development. Gain an understanding of the rationale for learning environments that support 21st century education and explore examples, ideas and models for implementation at your school.
